Harold's Leg Lift

Projecting forward is the key but it's very difficult to do. It's not about what the player is now or what he was in the past. It's about what's the player going to be in one year, three years, five years. Mistakes are made when only looking backwards. Makeup is a huge part of projecting forward and that's what makes it so tricky and why the teams that truely drill down on the makeup are the ones who are most successful at developing players.

I love Mass but they're getting Gav.

THE GREATEST COLLEGE HITTER EVER!!!!! LOL

Tonight is the deadline to offer arb eligible players a contract. Sheets, De Los Santos and Anderson are easy non-tenders. Wilson can go either way. He was horrible last year but was decent the previous two years. I would be mildly surprised if they don't work out a deal with Vaughn.

Pittsburgh did't get a draft pick for Paul Skenes winning ROY because they held him down playing the control game. On top of that he ended up earning that year of service time from winning the award. They fucked it up twice.

Cry more. b****

I think he's gonna be the Opening Day SS.

TimmyU knows his onions. There's no doubt about that.

There's a few other posts on that account explaining other adjustments he's working on. He's working on deepening his hands and keeping them closer to his body. I assume this is to make him shorter and quicker to the baseball which will help him be on time more often.

Expecting a big year from this dude next year.

I'm still a believer in Baty. I think he's gonna hit and is an excellent breakout candidate. He's a left handed bat with power that they desperately need. No he's not going to be a longterm third baseman but I think he'll be fine there until Montgomery has to slide over. I think Baty is the major league ready type of player they should be targeting.

A year ago would you have said the same about Mark Vientos?

😀

Did he mention anything else of interest?

Making room for Gav.

Going which way?

Robert to the Dodgers for Lux.

I'd be surprised if the Red Sox were that aggressive. I'm hoping the Mets go berserk.

Do you think they would be willing to take on Benintendi's contract?

Getz setting Paul Janish up to succeed. Novel concept.

Another guy I would like to see them target is Ben Rice. The Yankees have a ton of decisions to make this off season and if they decide to go a different direction at 1B Rice could be this years Michael Busch. The Sox tried like hell to get Busch last year but they didn't have the prospects to get a deal done. This year they have much better depth in the minors and could easily get a deal done for a much needed left handed power bat.
